DNA Oxidative Damage Assay by Doctors Data determines the level of oxidative stress which is involved in many pathophysiological processes, aging and cancer. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced as a result of normal oxygen metabolism or exposure to xenobiotics. Excessive levels are associated with oxidative damage to lipids, proteins and DNA. Urinary 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is an excellent biomarker of oxidative stress and a risk factor for a variety of diseases including cancer. ROS-induced damage to nuclear and mitochondrial DNA occurs readily at the guanosine bases that are removed by DNA repair mechanisms and excreted in urine. Simple urine collection from home, Doctors order provided, you receive the results.

Genova Diagnostics Amino Acid Analysis Urine examines fasting blood or 24-hour urine samples for 40+ amino acids.

Genova Diagnostics Optimal Nutrition Evaluation is three tests in one! Amino acids, organic acids, and oxidative stress analysis for one low price. Provides insight into disease risk and treatment options. Assess Gastrointestinal dysfunction, detoxification and methylation, neurotransmitter imbalance, and need for probiotics. Requires only one urine sample you collect at home and mail to the lab. You receive a copy of the results. Doctors order provided.

Hair Elements Hair Analysis Test by Doctors Data. Extensive research established that scalp hair element levels are related to human systemic levels. The strength of this relationship varies for specific elements, and many researchers consider hair as the tissue of choice for toxic heavy metals and several nutrient elements.

Hepatic Detox Profile by Doctors Data is designed to establish liver health and liver function, and how the liver is handling exposure to (toxic) chemicals. The body continually attempts to eliminate chemical toxins through enzymatic processes in the liver. Urinary D-glucaric acid, a byproduct of phase I detoxification, is a valuable indicator of chemical exposure or liver damage. Urinary mercapturic acids are direct end product metabolites of conjugated xenobiotics. Combined assessment of the urinary levels of the two analytes provides valuable information about exposure to xenobiotics and liver disease, and the capability of the liver to eliminate toxins. Collect sample at home and mail to the lab. Doctors order provided, you receive the results.

The Intracellular Vitamin Analysis by Spectracell Laboratories is a special patented blood test that reveals a person´s functional nutritional status over much longer time than conventional serum testing. Measures levels of vitamins, minerals, certain amino acids, antioxidants, and other essential micronutrients. Indicated for a wide range of mental and physical conditions.

Metametrix Amino Acids Profile Urine The urine amino acid profile reports levels of essential amino acids and their derivatives in categories. Functional vitamin and mineral deficiencies and diagnosis of metabolic disorders, including neuroendocrine, muscle wasting, and bone loss, can be determined from a urine amino acid analysis. A 24-hour urine collection gives the most accurate analysis of urine amino acids. You receive a copy of the full report, no additional cost or doctors order needed!

Metametrix Bloodspot Amino Acid Assay. Amino Acid Profile 20 Amino acids make up proteins found in every tissue of the body. They play a major role in nearly every chemical process that affects both physical and mental function. Doctors Order Provided, you receive the results. Available to residents in all states including New York.

Metametrix Cardio/ION Health Profile provides a comprehensive array of parameters to determine overall nutritional status with a specific impact on reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and improving cardiovascular health. Requires a urine sample and blood draw. Blood draw fees may apply. You get the results, no doctors order needed.

Metametrix Fatty Acid Profile-Blood Spot. Fatty acids are the components of dietary fat. In the body, they serve as a source of energy from a process called fatty acid oxidation. Fatty acids are also the principal components of triglycerides, which act as the body’s long-term energy reservoir. Plasma fatty acids provide a magnified view of serum triglycerides. Unsaturated fatty acids are the predominant building blocks of phospholipids, which are the structural components of nerves and cell membranes, as well as the precursors of a special class of hormones called eicosanoid hormones.

Metametrix Nutrient and Toxic Elements Hair Analysis. Hair is unique in its ability to concentrate divalent cations because of the high amount of sulfur amino acids that act as strong binding sites. Toxic heavy metals and essential trace elements are found in hair in levels many times higher than those found in any other tissue. This characteristic makes hair testing a sensitive way to detect body status of many trace elements.

Methylmalonic Acid, Serum or Urine is used to diagnose megaloblastic anemia; elevated levels of methylmalonic acid provide an early indication of cobalamin (B12) deficiency. Choose either Blood draw or Urine collection at a nearby LabCorp. You receive the results. No additional fees. NOT AVAILABLE IN CALIFORNIA OR NEW YORK.

Amino acid analysis provides fundamental information about nutrient adequacy: the quality and quantity of dietary protein, digestive disorders, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies (particularly folic acid, B 12 , B 6 metabolism, zinc and magnesium). In addition amino acid analysis provides important diagnostic information about hepatic and renal function, availability of precursors of neurotransmitters, detoxification capacity, susceptibility to occlusive arterial disease (homocystine), and many inherent disorders in amino acid metabolism. 24-hour or first morning void urine collection. You recieve the results, no doctors order needed.

Urine Halides by Doctors Data is a comprehensive assessment of iodine as an essential element required for normal function of the thyroid gland, immune system, and the integrity of thyroid and breast tissue. Sub-optimal total body iodine status is associated with insufficient intake of the essential element and excessive intake of the highly antagonistic halides; bromide and fluoride. Iodine sufficiency and the retention of antagonistic bromide and fluoride can be readily assessed by analyses of iodine, bromine and fluoride in urine after administration of a loading dose of iodide/iodine. Collect sample at home and mail to the lab. Doctors order provided, you receive the results.

Urine Porphyrins by Doctors Data are oxidized intermediate metabolites of heme biosynthesis and have been associated with genetic disorders, metabolic disturbances/diseases, poor nutritional status, oxidative stress, and high level exposure to toxic chemicals or metals. Specific urine porphyrin profiles are associated with high level exposure to mercury, arsenic, lead and some toxic chemicals. Precoproporphyrins are reported separately and per unit uroporphyrin to increase detection even when heme production is very low. Collect sample at home and mail to the lab. Doctors order provided, you receive the results.

Urine Toxic & Essential Element by Doctors Data analysis is an invaluable tool for the assessment of retention of toxic metals in the body and the status of essential nutrient elements. Toxic metals do not have any useful physiological function, adversely affect virtually every organ system and disrupt the homeostasis of nutrient elements. Collect sample at home and mail to the lab. Doctors order provided, you receive the results.

Urine Toxic Metals by Doctors Data is useful for Urine toxic and essential elements analysis as an invaluable tool for the assessment of retention of toxic metals in the body and the status of essential nutrient elements.
